1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

We applied a bottom-up approach to develop biofunctional supramolecular hydrogels from an aromatic glycodipeptide. The self-assembly of the glycopeptide was induced by either temperature manipulation (heating-cooling cycle) or solvent (DMSO to water) switch. The sol-gel transition was salt-triggered in cell culture media and resulted in gels with the same chemical compositions but different mechanical properties. Human adipose derived stem cells (hASCs) cultured on these gels under basal conditions (i.e., without differentiation factors) overexpressed neural markers, such as GFAP, Nestin, MAP2, and βIII-tubulin, confirming the differentiation into neural lineages. The mechanical properties of the gels influenced the number and distribution of the adhered cells. A comparison with gels obtained from the nonglycosylated peptide showed that glycosylation is crucial for the biofunctionality of the hydrogels by capturing and preserving essential growth factors, e.g., FGF-2.
